For all of the hunters who think that they are going to find a eutopian hunting paradise when all of these areas are closed to ATV's, you're going to be very disappointed. There are already several areas in Alberta that are off limits to ATV's and those areas, in my experience, have very low elk, moose, and deer populations. Those areas also see low numbers of hikers, campers, and hunters, so I'm not sure why the government thinks we need more protected space.
We already have the provincial parks, national parks, Willmore, White Goat, Siffluer, Blackstone, Wabiabi, Castle, etc that are off limits to ATV's and the bull trout, elk, moose and deer populations don't appear to be thriving in any of them.
